Just saw Dr Hafezi. The entire staff was warm and welcoming. The system was efficient so I didn’t have to repeat myself even though I was a new patient. I felt heard and understood. I didn’t feel rushed. Was seen right away. Dr. Hafezi made me feel comfortable and was happy and warm.
Verified patient
Dr. Hafezi and her team are so wonderful. Their office is taking ample COVID precautions to keep time in the office as minimal and safe as possible. I saw Dr. Hafezi for a colposcopy and she took plenty of time to answer my many questions and explain my results and the procedure. She made sure the procedure was comfortable and as least stressful as it can be. I would absolutely recommend anyone to see Dr. Hafezi for an IB/GYN professional who is also extremely personable.
Verified patient
Very thoughtful and easy to talk to.

It’s was fast and great. Waiting time was maybe 5 min, even though I was a new patient and arrived exactly on time (I expected to wait longer). The doctor was really nice. What I loved the most, she just spoke to me directly, instead of dancing around and being extra careful, as some other doctors did in my past. I don’t know, maybe she does that with those who need it :) but I’d be annoyed with such attitude, and she definitely spotted that and just talked to me like an adult to an adult. I hardly feel the exam itself. All good.
Verified patient
Dr. Hafezi was great! It's hard for me to find good doctors in the Bay Area but Dr. Hafezi was very professional and had great bed-side manners. However, as expected, some of the office staffs were unprofessional & nurses were very much lacking. I don't believe this is the doctor's fault since they were probably hired by the medical group.
Verified patient
Such a professional office- from the front desk lady, to the doctor's assistant, to the doctor herself. Everyone was so friendly, warm, helpful and thorough. I am so happy to have found a local spot to get my annual check-ups. Keep up the amazing work ladies of Bay Valley Medical Group OB GYN.
Verified patient
She was great, very satisfactory.
The visit was great. Dr. Hafezi took the time to listen to my concerns, and took the time to address each one of them. She made sure that I was comfortable, before she began her examine.
Great as alway.
